End of the Rainbow

 
Just seconds before the rainbow appeared I was admiring the snow on Lugnacoille mountain
 
 
I regularly walk up the lane by my house, every day in fact  ..what is true and always  predictable it that the sky is never predictable ..
 it changes from minute to minute in spring.
I had to sprint to catch these shots of the end of the rainbow behind  my favourite thorn tree and in front of the Wicklow mountains !
